Hello all,

New member from VA here. I am installing a mini-split on my garage and while I am renting the trencher to run electrical to it, I thought that I might as well run shore power to my camper (parked in driveway) and also install two yard hydrants off my well. :p Funny how one project creeps to a few others! Anyway, I have most of this planned out but wanted to ask a couple questions.

I have a 130' run from my electric panel to where I want to install the 30A RV outlet. See link for outlet https://www.revereelectric.com/4661827/Product/ I have plenty of 10AWG THHN/THWN wire on hand although I think 8AWG would have been better but I've ran my camper on my existing 15A garage circuit just fine albeit a bit of a voltage drop at the camper. I think the dedicated 30A circuit with 10AWG will hopefully suit my needs just fine w/ minimal drop. I really just want to eliminate running an extension cord to my camper to pre-cool the fridge before trips. The 20A outlet will be nice for charging my boat battery or whatever else comes up in the driveway.

• Since I want this box to have a 30A RV outlet and 20A GFCI outlet, will I be able to run (3) 10AWG conductors and (3) 12 AWG conductors in the same 3/4" SCH40 PVC conduit? I am a little unclear on mixing different sized conductors in conduit when referring to the PVC conduit fill chart.

I guess that's really the only question I had for now.
